Describe how the leader’s behavior shaped organizational culture in a positive or negative fashion. Were any ethical and/or unethical political behaviors evident in these tactics?

Respond to two of your classmates’ posts concerning their chosen leader’s tactics to become an empowering leader. Were the tactics successful? How did the tactics affect organizational culture?

Then Submit a short paper or presentation identifying your chosen leader’s organizational vision, how your chosen leader developed the organization’s strategic direction, and what methods you would recommend that were not employed by the leader. Then, analyze evidence of the leader’s personal, political, and positional power, assessing how the leader used that power to structure the organization, thus creating its culture.
